Night Raking

This series of collages, in the Max Ernst style, was created as an offshoot of The Gates of Heck. I wanted to relate to an established method of Surrealist image making while splicing in contemporary imagery from the universe of Marvel and DC comics. Surrealism allows for the free-association of ideas and allows images and ideas to arise that couldn't have been foreseen or premeditated otherwise. I enjoy the precision required to make the images as seamless as possible. For me, the resulting illusion suggests the gothic texture of dreams.
